The Premier League are facing a backlash after failing to agree their proposed £900million settlement with the EFL to fund the rest of English football.
Top-flight clubs refused to back a payout package at a meeting on Monday, instead prioritising reform to their own spending rules.
Profitability and sustainability rules, which have led to Everton and Nottingham Forest being charged this season, are being phased out in favour of a system broadly aligned with squad costs.
The Premier League have been warned that the new proposed Football Regulator would intervene if a deal for the EFL was not agreed.
Salford City co-owner Gary Neville has branded the failure to agree a new deal an “absolute disgrace”, adding: “It angers me every time I see they have a meeting and seem to look after themselves, but not look after the rest of football.”
The EFL have declined to comment and are expected to discuss the issue at a board meeting later this week.
